Braverman; "Undue and disproportionate costs" what is the cost to people of having their homes / business flooded or destroyed by fire?
Water from floods, fires, heat waves that are a result of climate change, don't care what party you vote for, they will just wipe out anything in their path.
The cost of the Libya flooding is huge, and a huge cost to human life too, what is cheaper cleaning up after these events or investing in a cleaner world.

⚠️ mstdn.social will go offline for a few minutes so I can downscale the server ⚠️
Our current plan does not excist anymore and we can save some money by a downgrade!

Germany bans neo-Nazi Hammerskins and raids ultra-right extremist groups
Hammerskins Germany are a chapter of an ultra-racist organisation that began in the US more than 30 years ago. https://www.euronews.com/2023/09/19/germany-bans-neo-nazi-hammerskins-and-raids-ultra-right-extremist-groups
Lets push that latter statement so that more people know there are real alternatives to mainstream social media.

"Richest man" now wants to charge everyone to make use of a social platform.. 
:nkoFacepalm2:
It's not to "block out the bots" because you do that with something called "moderation"
He only tries to improve the hole in his wallet because of a company he sunk into the ground
Luckily Mastodon is FREE OPEN source software 🤷
They can also monitor what workers are doing better I guess too.
Can't be trusted to do the work needed, shows a toxic environment anyway.

A new study suggests that fully remote workers may produce less than half the climate-warming emissions of people who spend their days in offices.

@zleap @katmckatniss It's adapted from my PhD thesis on panpsychism
Maybe one reason people say Mastodon is complex, is not because it is actually complex but it is far better place to hang out and as we can't be monetized then they don't want people joining due to the loss of potential revenue.

Elon Musk: Social media platform X could go behind paywall https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-66850821
Yup. That would do it. The exodus would become a torrent. If he doesn’t have the will or means to counter bots any other way, then I guess he doesn’t deserve Users anyway.
Twitter becomes Xitter a bit at a time.
What is your paper on ? As in topic of course.

and devoting less time to tablets, independent online research and keyboarding skills.
seems to imply less time to online research and keyboarding skills, both of which are important.
Books go out of date too quickly, online research skills should include being able to identify good sources of information
Interesting, next step would be to teach about free software, software freedom and the fact they actually have a choice.
